Shortwave Frequency List

This is a quick-reference list of frequencies from each country which carry some English and which may be heard in North America. Many are easily heard; some are difficult and rarely audible.

Shortwave Listening Tips:

Listen to Asia and Australia in the morning and listen to Europe at night.

No SW frequency operates 24 hours. You may not hear anything unless you are listening at the right time, or you may hear another language, or you may hear some other country sharing the frequency.

Many countries are better heard in non-English broadcasts. Explore the dial and you will hear many fascinating things, including exotic music.

Some stations only air a few minutes of English; or only in ID announcements (Mexico); or only language lessons (Ecuador).

Country of origin is shown. Many of the frequencies are relayed from elsewhere. In the case of China, all of them shown below are relays. Don't assume any particular frequency is actually coming directly from the originating country.

Some major countries no longer broadcast to North America intentionally, such as Australia, Germany, South Africa or the UK. Longer frequency lists for these give you more chances to hear something directed elsewhere.

More than one station may be involved under some countries, or even outside broadcasts to that country (Liberia, Nigeria, Sudan).

Many of the strongest signals from strictly religious broadcasters in the US and elsewhere are not shown.

This WiFi Antenna is hands down the best. It allows me to connect to a business almost a half mile away. Two months time and this baby paid for itself. I am a very happy with my purchase.

— John A., Mill Valley, CA

This radio deserves five stars because it sounds great, the ease of use and preset stations. This radio will become your favorite radio, also backed by great customer service if ever needed, thank you very much.

— Pete P., Santa Rosa, CA

This is an excellent internet radio. I have had the unit playing constantly from the time I received it. Excellent sound for such a small unit and the remote works wonderfully.

— James H., Richmond, BC

Good sound, lightweight and comfortable; not too tight on the head. I like one feature; it doesn't tell you where to place the speakers, left side or right side.

— Harry W., Manassas, VA

I purchase this product specifically for AM recordings and it has worked superbly. I wanted to wait awhile before I gave my opinion on the product. It has worded exactly as advertised and more.

— Jack L., San Pedro, CA

Very nice, economical home lighting. If you're used to the white light of fluorescent bulb replacements, these will offer the same type with no toxic ingredients or damaging UV radiation.

— Gary B., San Francisco, CA

This antenna does work well; however placement and the shape you have it bent into is very important. I live about 70 miles away from Toronto and receive a lot of Toronto FM stations static free with the FM reflect.

— Thomas S., Buffalo, NY

I'm not sure how I gone this far in life without it. I just love it. The best sound ever from an AM radio.

— James G., Springfield, MA

This device is awesome. As a contractor, I can not access my customer's network for security reasons. Now, with my office on the second floor, I can connect to a WiFi hotspot 1.5 miles away and my signal strength is strong!

— Robert S., Tabernacle, NJ

I just received my EP radio yesterday. I'm totally impressed with the old school simplicity and the modern day sound quality. Thank you, C.Crane!

— David C., Raleigh, NC

I have had only one, thank the lord, occasion to use this in and emergency situation and it worked flawlessly. Only one in the area with radio for two days of power loss... Thank you CCrane!!

— Vernon P., Dufur, OR

This radio is totally fantastic!!! It will provide service in any condition and works as engineered and advertised. I am going to order more units for all family members.

— Glen B., Bethlehem, PA

This radio is wonderful. Small but powerful. Several years of service and no problems.

— William B., Litchfield, IL

Just received this little jewel... did not open the manual and I was listening to NPR within minutes... no kidding. I'm a radio guy and the audio is great and look forward to a lot of great listening.
